New Year Picture - Zhong Kui

Zhong Kui, a Taoist deity renowned for battling ghosts and exorcising evil spirits, becomes a focal point during the New Year festivities. It is a tradition for people to hang portraits of Zhong Kui in their homes to ward off evil spirits and avert disasters for their families.

In this New Year painting, the powerful Zhong Kui brandishes a sword, capturing little ghosts and instilling fear, compelling them to flee. Despite his formidable appearance, Zhong Kui is revered and cherished by the Chinese people for his ability to protect the safety of our families.

This particular New Year picture is meticulously printed on antique rice paper at Heng Xing Yi New Year Picture Shop in Yangjiabu, Shandong Province, boasting a rich history of over 100 years.
